This study explores the mythical and fantastic themes of artists from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, including David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Drawing on insights from Joseph Campbell, J.G. Frazer, Carl Jung and Mircea Eliade, the author examines how performers have incorporated mythic archetypes and science fiction imagery into songs that illustrate societal concerns and futuristic fantasies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert McParland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476664706\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476664705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.85h x 5.85w x 0.50d","brand":"Robert McParland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088355307775,"sku":"9781476664705","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b997a2f8-c20a-4128-9b28-dee3a2461008.jpg?v=1769104377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/science-fiction-in-classic-rock-robert-mcparland-9781476664705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
